The first three moved from theory to practice to the complications of putting the question into practice. The gap missing is long-term use and the actuality of the application. I feel that theory falls upon theory and practice forgets to follow suit, or becomes complicated until a new theory presents itself. It is a cycle where nothing gets completed. I want to address this, but the research so far is lacking.

Luke,
So, I definitely think that the research question is relevant to me as a future teacher because it is something we will all have to deal with. Here we are taught by Delahunty to not judge or critique language use in the classroom, but as we talked about in Delpit and Gee, we have a certain requirement to not let the students walk away with out this knowledge. And it seems that the balance is hard to attain. When is what appropriate and how do we maintain these multiple discourses? It seems like a daunting task to me.
I think you should interview teachers and students to see perspective nd how they personally feel about this subject since some of it may depend on your group of students and your school and the different difficulties that may be unique to a situation. As for secondary sources, I’d look at the English Journal. They have tons of resources about diverse discourse, which is what I’m also focusing on. You can just search it, and I think that may h elp you find more than theory.
PS. You’re not as awesome as me.
